Increasing competition within the digital advertising space is resulting in rising costs per click (CPC). As more businesses invest in PPC, especially for highly competitive keywords, the bidding process becomes more intense, driving up the cost to maintain top ad positions. This can strain the budgets of advertisers, particularly smaller businesses with limited resources, and necessitates strategic budget allocation and keyword selection to achieve desired results within budget constraints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Another challenge is the complexity of PPC platforms and algorithms. Major platforms like Google Ads and Microsoft Advertising continuously update their algorithms and introduce new features, requiring advertisers to stay abreast of changes and adapt their strategies accordingly. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Additionally, mastering the intricacies of campaign setup, keyword targeting, ad copy optimisation, and bid management can be daunting for newcomers to PPC advertising. Without a solid understanding of these elements, advertisers may struggle to achieve optimal results and may even inadvertently waste budget on ineffective campaigns. Therefore, ongoing education and staying informed about industry best practices are essential to navigate the complexities of PPC advertising effectively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>A few other common challenges with PPC advertising include:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\u003Cli>Sales attribution – with the removal of cookies and ongoing iOS updates,  it has become even harder to accurately attribute where your sales are coming from and how to then make the correct decisions on how to scale your best-performing ads and turn off the worst performers.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\n\n\n\u003Cli>Ad fatigue – when your target audience becomes bored or disinterested in your ads, we call this ad fatigue.

But as a long-term strategy, investing in SEO will help to drive substantial ROI in the future. Ideally, it’s advisable to use both channels simultaneously. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>This is because\u003Cem> \u003C\u002Fem>combining PPC advertising with SEO can yield powerful results that amplify the effectiveness of each strategy.

For this reason, many will choose to stick to one path, working away to achieve success in the channel they feel works best for them. Further to this, dedicated SEO and PPC agencies offer these services exclusively, eschewing the other in the process and further fueling the longstanding war of the SERPs between organic and paid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>It doesn’t have to – and shouldn’t, in my opinion – be this way.

If there’s no paid competition and you occupy the top organic position, there’s little reason to spend your budget stealing clicks away from your organic result that will gather the majority anyway for free, unless you really want that SERP real estate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>At Impression, we’ve seen excellent results for our clients by monitoring impression share on PPC keywords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cblockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\u003Cp>Impression share – the percentage of impressions that your ads receive compared to the total number of impressions that your ads could get.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003C\u002Fblockquote>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>A high impression share indicates that there’s little competition from other advertisers – and if we’re already ranking in position 1 organically, we may consider pulling back on ad spend for that keyword and allowing our organic listing to take the clicks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"data-sharing-to-highlight-opportunities-and-keyword-gaps\">Data sharing to highlight opportunities and keyword gaps\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>As marketers, we love data.

I’ve used the same dataset as above to provide cohesion in our analysis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-image\">\n\u003Cfigure class=\"aligncenter size-full\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"631\" height=\"455\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fimages.impression.co.uk\u002F2024\u002F04\u002Fmcf-channel-grouping-path.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&q=90\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28239\"\u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n\n\u003Cp>Organic search is both a strong standalone channel and a key driver to start user journeys for other channel conversions. Paid Search achieves a similar result, which could be grounds to increase the budget and scale of the campaign. Direct, on the other hand, serves only as a final path in the user’s journey, and doesn’t serve other channels well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>It’s important to note that single-step conversions are not shown by default – you’ll need to adjust the segments to see this data.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"finding-a-cross-channel-agency-partner\">\u003Cstrong>Finding a cross-channel agency partner\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>By now, we’ve hopefully demonstrated and convinced you that the only way forward is to embrace and deploy an integrated approach to your PPC and SEO strategies. You’ll also have a clear understanding of how you can make this happen, but often there is one fundamental factor that can make implementing an integrated strategy more challenging – working with two different agencies. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>While the majority of agencies will have a positive working relationship, this may not always be the case. In this instance, it can cause a bit of a headache in terms of bringing the two channels together and ensuring you not only have full transparency on how each channel is performing, but you can work together on overcoming any challenges or unlocking new opportunities. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Beyond the ‘battle of the agencies’, choosing to have one agency partner to manage both channels can provide great efficiencies when managing your marketing budget and resources. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Moreover, integrated management allows for better coordination and optimisation of resources. A single agency handling both SEO and PPC can allocate budgets, analyse data, and adjust strategies more efficiently, as they have a holistic view of the digital marketing landscape. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>This integrated approach enables agencies to identify synergies between SEO and PPC efforts, such as using PPC data to inform keyword targeting and content optimisation for SEO or leveraging SEO insights to refine PPC ad copy and targeting. By leveraging the strengths of both channels in tandem, businesses can maximise their online visibility, drive qualified traffic, and achieve their marketing objectives more effectively. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>But, with so many SEO or PPC specialist agencies out there, how do you know who is best for the job? \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, we would suggest working with a cross-channel agency that has a proven capability in both SEO and PPC first and foremost, but you may also want to consider:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\u003Cli>Can they demonstrate internal integration and cross-channel collaboration?\u003C\u002Fli>\n\n\n\n\u003Cli>Does the business align with your business values?\u003C\u002Fli>\n\n\n\n\u003Cli>In their pitch, did they approach Search holistically, or in silos? \u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003C\u002Ful>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>If you’re considering making the move, why not check out our helpful \u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"\u002Fresources\u002Fwhite-papers\u002Fhow-to-choose-a-digital-marketing-agency\u002F\">agency selection guide\u003C\u002Fa> where you can access the opinions of like-minded individuals on how to find the right agency and hear their top tips.  \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-image\">\n\u003Cfigure class=\"aligncenter size-full\">\u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"\u002Fresources\u002Fwhite-papers\u002Fhow-to-choose-a-digital-marketing-agency\u002F\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"906\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fimages.impression.co.uk\u002F2022\u002F12\u002FAgency-Selection-Guide-2022.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&q=90\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20663\"\u002F>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"next-steps\">\u003Cstrong>Next steps\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>We would always recommend approaching search with an integrated strategy that combines at least SEO and PPC.
